You're listening to One-on-One with DP, brought you by Mary Ellen's Food for the Soul, on 93-7 The Ticket and the Ticket FM.com. Welcome back to one-on-one on a Monday and again. Appreciate you guys hanging out with us, thinking with us, talking with us, having conversations with us. 4024-6456-85, Sartan, Hamine, Text on Honda-Linking Hotline. Y'all are busy on it. We are appreciative of it for you.

You want to thank the folks from Mary Allen's food for the soul. They did brisket and prime rib yesterday, Rico. I'm just telling you, man. And did you bring some back? No, I did not. No, I did not. How would I eat it all as well? So we'll have Charles on probably Wednesday.

Okay. I think we should have Charles in on Wednesday. You know, to do that thing, right? Every day, every day. Every day. Charles, you know, stop in. Yeah, every day. Just send him here.

The question was, did. Florida fumble the ball. Jay and Rashada has openly talked about his fondness for the Miami coaches and a chance to make a big impact in Cole Gables. I love the opportunity here, he said. Along with the relationship I have with the staff, I believe they will run their conference for the next

few years. That conference is the SEC. That conference is the SEC. Well, Miami's in the A-C. Or is you talk to Florida? Well, they asked the Florida, fumble the ball. Can you imagine Miami running the A-C again? You think that

happens? I can imagine it, but I don't think they're that close yet. Caspino said that Florida's collective didn't help the Gators' chances during the run-up on his decision. Florida is, this is from Caspino. This is from Caspino, right?

Again, booster booster. Florida is the most dysfunctional collective of all of college football, he said. I plan on steering my clients away from them. What clients? Whoa. What clients? What clients? What clients?

Hello. Hello. Wait a minute. Hello, I will go further. He goes further. He goes further. He says, from my standpoint, I never, ever want to deal with them again. If it weren't for the collective that's completely dysfunctional of Florida, he probably would have been there at Florida. This man called them clients.

Hey, yay. So, this is from an attorney in California. The recent, no, let me read it. The recent comments by California lawyer, Michael Caspino, have been brought to our attention to this statement, right? Gator Collective has never had any communications with Mr. Casino about Jaden or any recruits. Rather, Gative Collective has refused to engage in any dialogue with Mr.

Casino on numerous occasions as Gator Collective does not approve of his tactics and has no interest in engaging in activities, which violate Florida law and NCAA NCAA-EAC. interim policy and may put our athletes eligibility at risk. He goes on to say that he is hoping for Billy Napier to better organize Florida's recruiting efforts because he wants to see him succeed. Does it sound like he wants him to succeed? No. Also, why would he mention the Gator Collective being dysfunctional and steering his clients away if they had had no discussions? I'm just... Out of all, like, why... Just... He just calls out one college.

that he's never talked to according to them? Mind-blowing. Mind-blowing. Look, normally I don't care for, you know, agents in that sort of manner, but I don't see why he would lie about talking to them. Now, here's a couple of things. So, Jory has a couple of really good texts. I'll read them both.

My guess is that we're requiring financial tracking of any money going from a booster to an NCAA collegiate athlete because they're going under the NCAA umbrella that could work. of all. Any deal done before they signed their letter of intent is out of purview for the NCAA. Can't boundary a thing when people

aren't a part of what you're doing. You can say that if you make that deal in high school, you're no longer eligible for college, but they haven't done that. And they would be a rush to judgment if they did. That would be terrible. Wouldn't happen, wouldn't be allowed. He also goes further. He says, I think

Congress and NCAA will put together strict of rules, compliance and caps on in all from private. of boosters. That will happen, I bet. Here's the problem. Again, we're talking about the most powerful, richest people in any area of the country. And if you

don't think that Congress, the people who are in Congress aren't affected by those check writers as well, they're affected at a higher level than the athletes that you're talking about boundary for greater amounts of money. I don't think you can put a cap on people giving their own money to somebody.

you're asking for financial tracking, what they're going to, what they could do is ask NCAA athletes if they have an NIA deal with a booster. But the booster can be just as identified as a local corporation at the simplest level. And then that becomes none of their business. Now what will happen is student athletes will stop announcing

that they have these deals and they would just move along about their way. And I can tell you for a fact, I'll ask you this question. Let's say you're a poor kid from Lincoln, Omaha, Nebraska. Poor kid. Right? Poor kid.

And somebody offers you $8 million to play at a school. Are you willing to take the $8 million and lose your eligibility? Yes. It's $8 million. Guess what? I guess that's $8 million that I won't be playing. Oh, darn. If the person who's writing the check or doing the transfer for $10 million,

do you think that's their last $10 million? Do you think that they're going to be hurt by losing the $10 million? No, what they want is access and control. That $10 million is just one day off of their trip to Monaco. It's not a thing, right? It's not a thing. Not even a full day, like half a day. Like they won't be able to go to their favorite restaurant for one of those days.

Right? Right. Dusty says this What's up, Dup, Dupy? Someone has to tell these boosters, in air quotes, who the teams are after. Not a thing that you can control. Not a thing that you can control.

Again, this is aren't just going after random athletes. They're going after athletes that are connected to the university. Well, here's the thing. First of all, I've referred athletes to a school without money being involved or without being asked, by either the coach or the player. If I know that there's a good coach, a good coach, and a good program, and a good kid who could play in that program,

I'm doing that because it's good for them. It's good for them for me to say, hey, there's a kid. I got a quarterback for you. Or I've got a receiver for you. I've got a point card for you. I've got a picture for you. Whatever those things are in play because you want success for good people doing good things. For me, it's got nothing to do about money.

But I'm not a power broker. I'm not in this to get money back from the university or to get money from business partners to do this. Now, if somebody, I don't even have to put if somebody, when somebody comes to me and says, how much would it take for you to get this kid to this school? the answer is always nothing. If it's the right thing to do, I'll do it. If it's not the right thing to do, there's no amount of money for me to put a good coach with a bad kid

or a bad kid with a good kid. I just wouldn't. But that's not just me. I'm accountable for me. That's all I can speak on. But I can tell you that there are players who asked the question, Coach D.P., should I do this? son you got you got a mom and dad you got to go mom and dad

you got to drop to your knee and ask a question bro like I can't I can't have that discussion with you that's not for me to do but those people are out there you know how I know they're out there because they come to me they come to me on irregularly I mean there are people that have come to me for Nebraska athletes and I can tell you there's five student athletes currently on campus at the University of Nebraska

that are here because I kind of pushed them in that direction because I felt comfortable with the coach and the situation and the player. No money swapped hands. That wasn't why it was done. But I also know what was offered for other players. So the NCAA has its hands tied. Literally, well, they tied their own hands because for 30, for 50, for 75, for 100 years, the NCAA,

had the ability and the power and the wherewithal to say, hey, we could have done right by this to begin with ourselves. We could have put these things in place and say all of this stuff was how business was going to be done. What they did instead was they turtled and kept allowing money to exchange hands around them, right? Boosters have been a part of NCAA athletics for as long as there's been NCAA NCAA athletics.

And the NCAA could have fixed it. They could have set boundaries and they didn't. The athletic programs could have set boundaries and they didn't. Every athletic program could simply say, I'm not dealing with boosters who do this sort of thing. But why would they and how could they? Because those are the people that make the decision on who gets the job in the first place. And the athletes, in a lot of cases,

this is money bigger than anything they could possibly dream. And I can say to you as simple as I can say it, most parents and most high school athletes, if somebody came to the door with back, when I talk about regular bags, we're talking about $25,000,000 in the past that would make things move, $75,000, $100,000. But now we're talking...

$25,000 is getting you in the door. Right? For the guy who may or may not play, for the girl who may or may not play, right? Because... That's a cover charge. Collegiate sports is such big business. We know the numbers.

We can go online and find the numbers about how much profit is being made. Right, how much profit. We're not talking about just the business is being done. We're talking about the profit. The amount of money that the insiblay in these schools make just from television championship rights. And why do you think that's so?

What do you think that's so? How do you think that happened? It's wild. Right? So nobody's innocent in this thing. Nobody. The student athletes are the least, guilty of the bunch.

Why? Because they're being introduced to big business and big volumes by people that have had greater successes and greater vices and resources and access than they have. This is all new to that. And the parents, again,

unless you're the second or the mannings, right, or the Griffiths where you, if you don't have a family that's already been through this process, you have no idea. You have no idea what you're dealing with. You have no idea what you're dealing with. And the NCAA knew the sharks

that were in the water, because they were the big fat shark that allowed everybody else to swim around it. They were the big whale that allowed everybody else swim around it. And they're like, well, you don't mess with me. As long as you don't mess with me staying fat and happy, you go get fat and happy on your own.

I don't particularly care. And that's how you get to where you are. I said, don't come from me. Like, don't. And now we're looking at student athletes. How else should this be done? Can you imagine how much Bo Jackson would be offered? Hmm.

How much Dion Sanders will be offered? How much, I mean, think about how much Peyton Manning would have been offered. Even how much Dion Sanders was offered and then you just got to up it for the times. Well, yeah, like do inflation, do the athlete inflation. How much was offered and how much? Right, do the inflation. Like, do the greatest it never was. Right, go back and watch that.

Imagine that SMU oil money if it was legal. Somebody texted if T. Boone Pickens was still alive. Right. Like, think about what they were doing with Eric Dickerson and. Craig James, you imagine? What do you, I mean, look, the stories of OJ, the stories, I mean, you can go back. A lot of those USC athletes. Like, just to talk about Ohio State, what do you think's happening over there?

What do you think is happening over there? Goodness gracious. What do you think's happening in Alabama? What, Alabama's getting all those athletes? And Nick Saban's complaining why? Why do you think, because they're not doing any money or they're not doing enough money? Not doing enough. not doing enough money.

Look, I understand Alabama's great football program, but you still got in Tuscalo. But you know why. Yeah, right? You still got to live in Tuscalo. You know why. You know why they're a good program. You know why LSU is a good program. You know, look, I never even thought about it until the NIA started, but like think about Alabama,

how many five stars they have. Why would you be okay being a five star that would start anywhere else as a freshman to sit for two years? garbage man asked her because why didn't all funds get sent to a pool of funds at the school of which the kid was going to then the fund that pays for all kids of said person brings brings in all the money leaves that money doesn't go with them because the school should be and are supposed to be independent of that school's not supposed to touch that money with a boundary like they everybody has an uh uh uh its own nil alliance or group. The NIL collectives that you hear of aren't from the school. They're just using the name of that. And again,

boosters are getting together themselves. And guess what? No university is going to go after legally the boosters who are setting up these NIL funds. They're not. Those are their big check writers. Why would they? Those are the same boosters that are paying the school. Like, why would they?

Now just part of that money is going to the student athletes. Here's the caper. I want you to just, we'll go to break. We'll go to break with this. So think about this one. So here's the NFL commissioner saying, I can't ask, I can't get rid of Daniel Snyder. The commissioner of the league telling you he can't, you know why?

Because he pays, he pays a salary. That's what the NCAA is to the Big Ten conference and to the University of Nebraska and Ohio State and Michigan and all those things. They could have done right and set the boundaries in place. And at this point, you're a figurehead. But as my friends in Texas say all the time, the poop's out the pig, you can't put it back in. You can't undo it. It's already done.

We'll finish up this conversation on 101. One-on-one we come back. Watch live on Facebook, YouTube, or Twitch. You're listening to One-on-One-on-One with DP on 937 The Ticket and the Ticketfm.com.
